Princeton loses 14-19
Ladies and gentlemen, the Princeton University Band takes a long, hard look at the Presidency.
“Princeton Forward”
Turning its attention to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, the Band listens in as an impeachable White House souse discloses the President’s keen interest in averting a national energy crisis. In an effort to head off a personal power failure, Mr. Nixon has decided to conserve energy by shrinking his staff. In addition, the President has arranged to generate his own heat by modifying the White House furnace to burn discarded papers and tapes. Forming
a) an inoperative tape system, or
b) a shred of evidence, or
c) Nixon’s latest Gallup Poll mandate,
the Band overhears Nixon getting his instructions down pat.
“Come On Baby, Light My Fire”
Marching out to the White House garage, the Band observes the addition of a new shock absorber to the Nixon household. This new, low-noise Ford, completely equipped with built-in tape deck and pollution controls, is known to get good mileage, but can’t blow its horn and drive straight at the same time. Dodging and darting around Washington, this model has run into one hearing after another issuing its plaintive plea…VEEP, VEEP. While Ford’s suggestions may be good, the Band has a better idea.
“See the U.S.A. in Your Chevrolet”
The Band next looks in on the Justice Department, at the office of former Watergate Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox. The Special Prosecutor was first appointed by the President to probe the depths of the Watergate Affair, but his investigation was pressed so far that Nixon discharged Cox. The Band observes that Nixon really feared that Cox was “Getting to Know You”
Finally, the Band notes that, only three days after we did an Agnew joke at Columbia, Vice President Agnew resigned. With this in mind, we dedicate our show today to President Richard M. Nixon.
